Funny though, Sun Java wont run on Android yet to build the Android OS you need Sun Java (OpenJDK wont work). Hmmmm  |
Thanks for the reply, Solicitous. Seems strange indeed how the Sun java won't run on Android but is needed as part of building its OS. I am rather interested in an MID but my main concern is about any limitations upon what may be accessed/used with it. I might look up a bit more about Dalvik VM.
